easy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It would be easy Easy to love you Easy to hold you But you push me aside [Verse 2] It would be easy Easy to love me Easy to hold me Instead I sit and cry [Verse 3] If you would step out in the sun And put your hand in mine Tell me all your worries Maybe it would ease your mind [Segue] But this is just my fantasy And your cocoon, it don't fit me [Verse 4] Yes, I believe you Though I wish it weren't true That you are too low To enjoy the view And though it was too soon To be touching your wound From a distance that's safe I send love to you [Verse 5] May you feel peace Beneath the singing oak tree Whose moss and chimes Sway and bind inside the breeze May you feel loved When your lips touch the saxophone reed Or in your garden When you tend your mustard greens [Verse 6] 'Cause things ain't always easy in New Orleans And I won't sugarcoat that history There is blood that can't be scrubbed By wishful thinking There is pain that can't be tamed By wishful drinking [Outro] But here's a tissue for your tears And here's a blessing for your ears May your music be medicine May your seasonings be heaven sent May your healing be magnificent My friend
